Category: 1.02 Review Language: Original in Slovenian (Abstract in Slovenian and English, Summary in English) Key words: Ljubljana, the Ljubljana earthquake, Cukrarna, March Revolution, the southern railway, First World War Abstract: The following text deals with the many-sided development of today’s Slovenian capital city between the so called March Revolution of 1848 and the end of the First World War. In the described time period Ljubljana made significant progress in many aspects. The municipality of Ljubljana grew in size; the city got its statute; also it was reached by the newly built railway. The city population more than doubled. Many of the brand new factories opened its doors; some of the city’s most representative buildings were also built. The Ljubljana earthquake in 1895 presents the biggest turning point in the building history of the city. Ljubljana began receiving help from all sides of the country and became a lively construction site. In the decades in question ten mayors stood at the head of the Ljubljana administration. Some of those mayors were (more or less) pro-Slovenian, others more pro-German.
